Through adventure, I have found myself
I grew up as a reserved little girl who would not leave her comfort zone. I was shy but cheeky. I wanted life as stipulated by society—go to school, find a job, settle down, and have kids—in that order. However, life happened. I fell into depression; lost a lot of weight. The gym became my… Read more “Through adventure, I have found myself”

Hiking keeps me sane and fit.
At the start of 2020, I was restless, I wanted to do something new, but I didn’t know what. The world was beginning to talk about COVID-19 and how those with underlying issues would be at risk. At the time, my daughter was unwell, and my mum is diabetic. I was not in a good… Read more “Hiking keeps me sane and fit.”

I did not grow up an outdoorsy child
I barely played any sports in school, and I was the quintessential nerdy introvert, who preferred staying indoors instead of playing ‘Bano’, ‘Brikicho’, Stuck in the mud’ or heaven forbid, ‘Cha Mama na Cha Baba.’ 🙈 Fast forward to adulthood, and I started making small intentional steps toward self-awareness, healing, and self-re-discovery. It is in… Read more “I did not grow up an outdoorsy child”

THE OUTDOORER CREED
I am a hiker, not a marathoner.
The mountain is not going anywhere, I am.
I will keep a moderate pace to save my life and health today.
So, if I don't summit today I can do it all over again next time.
I will never conquer the mountain but I can conquer myself.
I will unlock my mountain.
no matter your fitness level, we're here to help you get up and out
Hiking is a great way to be outdoors, stay active, relieve stress, enjoy nature, bond with your family and friends, or just have some fun.
